Song A Day #1577
E
He was given a guitar
B
When he was 9 years old

And soon busking for money

On the streets of Beaumont
He left home at 16
And went to Jasper Texas

On the radio station

George Jones
Hard livin' man
He was married to Tammy Wynette
He was married 4 times total
He rode a lawn mower 8 miles to get liquor when hi 2nds wife hid the car keys
They called him No Show Jones
When he was too drunk to play shows
And they also called him possum
Which I think is kind of awesome
George Jones
Hard livin' man
Frank Sinatra called him the second greatest singer in America
And most people consider him the greatest country voice of all time
He was often broke
He once lent his name to dog food
He had more than 150 hits
Throughout his long career
Now we say goodbye
I'll say so long
To George Jones
That hard livin' man
